I guess DTO isn't the best at math. In my order from last week the 40% sale, the impact is listed as 120$ marked 40% off the 199 regular price. Today the 80$ price is listed as 50% off the 160 regular price. I get marketing, I get "sales" I still hate it. I don't regret buying this previously at 120 as I've needed it for a year. I have several other Ridgid tools, a couple other Ridgid impacts and this is useful when pulling a pinion gear or larger truck lug nuts that someone over torqued.

A lot of people don't want/can't justify paying for top tier but also don't want cheap garbage. Ridgid is the brand for folks like that. I used to be a fan of Kobalt, but their deals are so sporadic and vary based on location that it can be frustrating. Hercules new brushless line up intrigues me, but until they've proven themselves Ridgid is king in this market. The LSA is just the icing on the cake.
There's really few problems with LSA, as long as people follow through on the registration. And when the batteries wear out, all batteries eventually do, a simple phone call gets new ones sent on their way.
Factory Blems from DTO can be registered for the LSA. There's even a DTO selection on the registration form for where it was purchased. And even though it says to mail in the receipt, I've always just uploaded it and if the registration hasn't processed in a few weeks, just send them a note asking them to review it and it goes right through.

I currently use the mid torque on my cars and havent had an issue where I needed more. Was able to remove Harmonic Balancer on a 20 year old honda.
I just dont know when / where I would actually need this.
How do you do that?
My kawi was put on by a drunk gorilla and no impact or 4' extension is getting it off so far.
Factory blems from Direct Tools Outlet are indistinguishable from new. They probably are new overstock, just being sold as "blemished" as an excuse to be at the outlet store and so Home Depot doesn't have to price match them.

Where did you find this? I have the new one and have heard the old one is stronger. But can't find anything to support either claim. My buddy has the old one. Lol
Already ordered the Ryobi when it was live. Have to decide if I'm going to keep the Ryobi vs ordering the ridgid...
Thank you! Changed my mind on needing this one too. Lol
You'll also notice they use the 3ah octane battery on the news impact to get those numbers and it made a bit less with the new 4ah max battery.
